Closed

While the show put lots of restaurants on the map, some spots didn't survive the pandemic or just closed their doors for whatever reason.

Anytime that anything happens around Amarillo about new places to eat I am the first person people turn to for answers. The same is true when there is a change in an existing place.

While coffee shops seem to be popping up all over the area like a never ending stream of rabbit offspring, a beloved restaurant in Canyon is closing for good.

Starting today (4/3), parking downtown will be impacted by a month long project on Polk.

Are they being run out of town? Or are they a victim of the pandemic?

Did it act like a Transformer and turn into something different than a store?

It has been a whirlwind of a story. Amanda's Cafe has been in and out of the restaurant review pages. When they first opened up I would see Amanda posting all of their great food specials.

You know when the school calendar comes out both kids and parents alike want to check it out. The kids are excited to check on which days they get out of school. You parents check because you have to decide on those off days what to do with them.

The high school is set to close tomorrow in order to alleviate issues caused by a shortage of staff.

This seems so like a 2021 problem but apparently the shortage of workers here in Amarillo is going to follow us into 2022. So much that it is going to force us to have one less place to eat at on Sundays.

The good news is that it looks like you'll have plenty of options when it comes to where you will be taking in a movie with the family on Thanksgiving.

A storied piece of Amarillo history...is it back??
